The UN Security Council passed a unanimous resolution today, spanking North Korea for firing off missiles into the Sea of Japan. It took ten days to cut the deal, but the resolution essentially says: “Smarten the hell up, dickhead!”
The North Korean ambassador to the UN had the reply ready in under an hour. It read: “Blow it out your ass.” I am simplifying a bit.
The reply wasn’t quite as pithy as the “Nuts!” from General McAuliffe at the siege of Bastonge during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, or the banging on the desk of Nikita Khruschev in the 1960’s but it will have to do for now.
The dialogue is also continuing in the Middle East. Israel is sending messages to Beirut, via helicopter gunship and strike aircraft. Hezbollah is replying with artillery and using Katyusha rockets from Iran. The shortened form of the dialogue is “You suck! No, you suck! No, you Suck. You Suck more! No you Suck More!”
The diplomatic rapport seems a little stilted right now, as all either side can do is plug their ears during the explosions. After they run out of ammunition, perhaps they will try talking. Oh, actually, they can’t run out of ammunition: Most of the members of the Security Council are selling arms to all sides in this fruitful, important and meaningful exchange of ideas in the Middle East.
We can only hope they don’t blow the entire world to pieces.
